"Stop criminalizing the CDRs!
👉 COMMUNIQUÉ about the non-existent accident attributed to the CDR in Alcarrás (later transferred to the Borges Blanques), documented by the press and a union of young men with an image of Sant Pere Pescador (284 km).

"COMMUNIQUÉ BY CDRs of PONENT

The CDRs of Ponent [Westen Catalonia] as a whole want to express our position with respect to the news that has arisen in recent days through certain media in which an accident of a vehicle of the Catalan Police ["mossos"] is related with an activity of the CDRs on December 21.

In the first place, the news [a] affirmed without any source or evidence that the accident had occurred in Alcarràs [b], with the impact of the vehicle against the barricade of tyres that the CDRs had placed across the A2, resultin in two members of the CDRs being charged and two policemen seriously injured. This information was quickly denied, since during the whole period that the CDRs were present there was no event that could have a minimal relationship with this.

Later on, it was announced that the UMC (Unió de Mossos per la Constitució) trades union had filed a complaint. On their Twitter account [c] they publish the facts linking the news with a photo of a road... in Sant Pere Pescador [d]! As far as we know, Sant Pere Pescador is located just beyond the municipality of Alcarràs... to be precise, 200 km away.

Eventually, the news changes in content, and it was stated that the accident happened close to Les Borges Blanques [e]. As CDRs of Ponent, we do not know the veracity of this information (although we see how the news has evolved we have a pretty good idea) [f] but we completely disassociate ourselves from these facts, be they true or just another lie [g] by the media. The only action that was carried out by the CDRs of Ponent on December 21 was the A2 cut, close to Alcarràs.

We conclude that the news is framed within the context of criminalization and repression that the Spanish State is applying against the independence movement. They want to criminalize the action of the CDRs using the media to spread false news and create an suitable climate for repressive measures to be applied to undermine our forces. Malcolm X said that if you are not alert, the media will make you love the oppressor and hate the oppressed.

From the CDRs of the West, however, we are clear: as a people we will continue on the street, firm and determined, from peaceful civil disobedience, but combative. Neither criminalization nor repression will be able to stop a people that have taken the humble decision not to back down.

🚨 We do not understand how this news has been able to cover and for what purpose since we have two very serious companions.Investigated two members of the CDR after a car of the Mossos collided against a barricade in Alcarrás.

Two agents of @mossos who were going to work on 21D collided with tires placed supposedly by the CDR at the N240 at km 69 at Les Borges Blanques. They were injured and are still on the run. @USPAC assures that the court 4 of Lleida has ordered to identify the authors.- Anna Punsí (@punsix) December 31, 2018

1. In Alcarràs, where the protest in Lleida was centralized, the A2 was cut at 6:30 p.m.
2. The N240 at Les Borges Blanques is a half hour and is a busy road. It seems strange that no one has taken pictures or told what USPAC says.
3. ... the video is April- Anna (@ annaberga92) December 31, 2018[6]"A spokesman for the Mossos d'Esquadra has told Europa Press that the accident was of a mild nature and that the two agents joined their jobs that same day."
